Early Villeneuve, that helped to establish his reputation. The mix of drama, arthouse and mild fantasy feels a little forced and construed, probably because the execution wasn't quite there. There are some interesting ideas, but they never really combine to make a good film, and the result is pretty forgettable.
There's a talking fish to make the film a touch more distinct and the structure of the plot is quite messy, which at least brightens up a coincidence-ridden narrative. The performances are decent too, but the film looks pretty glum and the soundtrack is rather boring and expected. Like most of his films, Villeneuve comes off a little too uncertain about his own signature.
